Firms 'need a strategic approach' to long-term recruitment

Companies need to take a strategic approach to recruitment in the months ahead and consider filling long-term skills gaps, one expert has advised.

Charles Logan, director of Hays UK, said although there is in some areas, many industries are suffering from skills shortages.

This is the issue which hiring managers need to understand, utilising the likes of sales recruitment organisations to help ensure they fill the gaps and can retain staff in the medium to long term.

Mr Logan noted that recruitment professionals need to be prepared to take a "strategic approach" to long-term talent supply in order to "gain an edge" in what is becoming an increasingly competitive and global skills market.

"Hiring managers will need to understand the flow of their talent pipeline, knowing why people move and what drives this movement of talent around the globe," he noted.

It comes after Taryn Grossman, senior recruiter at Siemens Energy Sector, told the Recruiter that recruitment agencies help to play a key role in finding candidates in niche skill areas, subsequently gaining those individuals employment.
